| Abstract |
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy and a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Hepatitis B x-interacting protein (HBXIP), a cofactor of survivin, was originally identified by binding with the C-terminus of the HBx and negatively regulated the activity of HBx. In this study, the effect of HBXIP on the hepatoma cells-induced angiogenesis was investigated. Proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were detected by MTT and transwell assay, respectively. Tube formation and chick chorioallantoic membrane model were used to observe the angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor activity was assayed using ELISA kits. Western blotting was performed to examine the protein expression. Our results indicated that overexpression of HBXIP increased HepG2 cell-induced endothelial cells migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis, which may be related to increasing phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase in HUVECs. These results suggest that HBXIP may play an important role in tumorigenesis by enhancing angiogenesis in HCC. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 January 2012.
All research outputs
#20,153,989
of 22,661,413 outputs
Outputs from Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry
#1,792
of 2,288 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#220,545
of 243,367 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry
#22
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,661,413 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,288 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 243,367 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
